Copying to or from Remote Disk Files
You can use the procedures described in the sections “Copying the CSLT from Tape to
Disk” and “Copying from Disk to Tape” when copying to or from a remote disk file. Your
system must have access to networking software (such as NS 3000) to connect remotely
with other systems. You need to know the node name of the remote system on which the
disk file is or will be placed.
To copy to a remote file, set up a file equation to point to the name of the remote file:
:FILE filename1 = filename2:nodename
where:
filename1 The name following an asterisk to specify to SLTCOPY.
filename2 The name of the file on the remote system.
nodename The name used to specify the remote system.
The following example shows how to create a remote disk file called CSLTVOL1 on a remote
system called REMSYS. Only the part of the procedure that differs from the normal
procedure for copying a tape into a disk file is shown.
:DSLINE REMSYS
:REMOTE HELLO USERNAME.ACCOUNT,GROUP
:FILE CSLTVOL1=CSLTVOL1:REMSYS
...
:SLTCOPY
Select mode (? = help)
1 Copy tape to disk file
2 Copy disk file to tape
3 Copy tape to tape
Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E' to exit>? 1
New disk file name? *CSLTVOL1

Notice that the remote disk file name must be preceded with an asterisk (*).
Copying to or from a Remote Tape
Your system must have access to networking software (such as NS 3000/iX) to copy tapes
to or from other systems. You need to know the nodename where the tape or tapes are
mounted.
To copy to or from a remote tape drive, set up a file equation to point to the nodename of
the remote tape drive.
If the master tape is on the remote system, you need to copy from the remote system. Set
up the following file equation:
:FILE MASTER=MASTER: nodename ; DEV=TAPE
where nodename is the specification for the remote system.
The following example shows how to copy to a local tape drive from a master CSLT on a
